A vessel lost steering and drifted onto the rock wall in Rosslyn Bay Harbour on Monday, April 26, and required assistance from Yeppoon Coast Guard.
Yeppoon Coast Guard Operations Centre was contacted by the skipper of the 5.3-metre runabout, which had four persons on board, about 9am.
Marine Assist Rescue, skippered by Rob Wills, provided the vessel with a very short tow back to the pontoon.
Four trainees undertook their Ship Safety Skill Set that afternoon at North Keppel Island.
The assessment required students to undertake a number of tasks both in and out of the water including swim tests, the use of life saving devices, and, the use of life rafts.
